[Em] [G]
I, Nick and Helen [C] are interesting.
I've enjoyed the contact I've had with them [G] over all these
years and [F] enjoyed playing with them.
You know, they're intriguing people and [Cm] they've done
a [C] really interesting thing with this radio show and they have other things in their lives
too that are interesting.
It's fun.
I'm always happy when I get a chance to come and work
with [Eb] them.
Underneath the mask of the sulfur sky, a bunch of us were busy [Fm] [Eb]
waiting.
People looking ill at ease.
Watching the spring rope get closer to breaking.
Women and men moved back and forth, in between effect [Fm]
[Eb] and cause.
Just beyond the range of normal sight.
The spitter and joker was dancing in the dragon's jaws.
[Ab] Let me be a little of [Eb] your breath.
[Ab] Moving over the face [Eb] of the deep.
[Ab] I want to be a particle of [Eb] your life.
[Bb] Flowing over the [C] hills of [Eb] mourning.
The only sign you gave of who you were.
When you first came walking down the road.
Was the way the dust most stamped around.
Your feet in a cloud of gold.
But everything you see is not the [F] way [Eb] it seems.
Tears can sing in joy, shed tears.
You can take the wisdom of this world.
And give it to the ones who think it all in cheer.
[Ab] Let me be a little [Eb] of your breath.
[Ab] Moving over the [Eb] face of the deep.
[Ab] I want to be a particle [Eb] of your life.
[Ab] Flowing over [C] the hills of [Eb] mourning.
[Ab] Let me [Cm] be a little of [Eb] your breath.
[Ab] Moving [Cm] over the face [Eb] of the deep.
[Ab] I want to be a particle [G] of your [Eb] life.
Flowing over the hills of mourning.
[Ab] Flowing over the hills of [Eb] mourning.
Flowing over the hills of mourning.
Nathan Halliday, [N] Blue Tones.
Thank you.
Bruce Coburn, [Ab]
Young Blue Tones.
